Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language, the title selected for the UW Libraries Save a Book IV project, was published in two volumes in London in 1755. It was the first dictionary in English to incorporate illustrative quotations from English writers in the definitions. Johnson, who wrote all the definitions, defined "to save" as "To preserve from damage or destruction."
Funds raised in Save A Book IV will be used to make minor repairs and replace the worn-out bindings on both volumes of the first edition, making this landmark work again available for scholarly research.
To make a contribution Save A Book IV, contact Gary Menges at menges@u.washington.edu or 543-1929.
